21 Re: Official Rosacea Thread

First time posting but thought I would jump in here. I had this some 20 years ago. Apparently caused by major stress. Woke up in the middle of the night and my face felt hot. In the dark I felt the rash..and it wasn't just along my cheeks and nose, but my entire face! Called my Dr the next day and begged to get in- and did. He also happens to be my skin cancer doctoro- a gem if ever there was one. Took one look at me and said .you have Roseacea. Treated it with Metrogel. It was so bad walking around (or was that slinking) with no makeup on and a red face!! and took a week or 2 (as I remember) to tone down and finally go away. Haven't had it again...till...

Just 3 days ago I was testing a new face treatment with Niacin in it. I woke up the next morning with a red face. Ok....here we. My face didn't like it. But..it became the rash like bumps all over my face again. The Niacin may have accelleratd it, but it was Roseacea again. Again caused by stress in a new job from hell. I am doing the metrogel again. At least I can hide it under my makeup! Will be reading the other comments as to remedys...
